"Bodies" is a short story by Joyce Carol Oates originally published in Harper's Bazaar, and first collected in The Wheel of Love and Other Stories (1970) by Vanguard Press.
“Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.”
“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only way I know. Is there any other way?”
“Just as a man would not cherish living in a body other than his own, so do nations not like to live under other nations, however noble and great the latter may be.”
“The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.”
“No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.”
“I drink to separate my body from my soul.””
